Hello, Recently I install OpenBSD 5.7 (amd64) on a iMac 12, 1 (15” iMac from 2011). I applied all 5.7 errata and am current as of August 23, 2015.
The full dmesg follows this -email, but a snippet shows the kernel is having trouble with the video card: error: [drm:pid0:ni_init_microcode] *ERROR* ni_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon-turks_pfp" error: [drm:pid0:evergreen_startup] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware! drm:pid0:evergreen_init *ERROR* disabling GPU acceleration drm:pid0:radeon_bo_unpin *WARNING* 0xffffff026eb6e2b0 unpin not necessary drm:pid0:radeon_bo_unpin *WARNING* 0xffffff026eb6e2b0 unpin not necessary error: [drm:pid0:evergreen_init] *ERROR* radeon: MC ucode required for NI+. drm:pid0:radeondrm_attachhook *ERROR* Fatal error during GPU init radeon_hwmon_fini stub ttm_pool_mm_shrink_fini stub drm0 detached radeondrm0 detached vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "ATI Radeon HD 6600M" rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation), using wskbd0 wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) On the first line I noticed “Failed to load firmware” in relation to the video card (ATI Radeon HD 6600M). My questions are: 1. Is a firmware blob needed that I must acquire and then provide to the kernel ? 2. In a worst case scenario, can I configure the kernel to not probe the video card and stick with the standard VGA output ? The video works when booting from the install RAM disk and while there is not a lot of room for displaying text, it’s still more usable in that state.
